Your Colored and Alternative Gemstone Choices
|
 |
Genuine or lab-created? We all love genuine gemstones because they are natural creations, they are from the Earth, and they have a wonderful mystique. Still, lab-created stones are gaining in popularity. We unabashedly offer you both options and leave it to you to decide what fits best for you.
|
Please visit our Gemstone Info page to learn about:
The differences between natural and lab-created gemstones.
Why we offer some stones in AAA quality and why others in AA quality (all for your good, natch!)
More information on stone sizes
What the hardness level of a stone really means. |
|
We offer four pricing levels to help you identify your choice:
Basic I
Basic II
Premium I
Premium II
We'll quantify this more, as this page is developed.
|
And what's the bottom line?
We guarantee that your stone will be gorgeous on the hand, and if it's not, Norm won't ship your ring to you. But you get to decide: when you get your stone, you must love it, or let Mandira know right away for immediate action to replace it. (We haven't had to replace one yet.)
|
Please note that sizes and weights are approximate and vary with availability. Contact us to confirm your preference is available at the time you wish to order. |
| Genuine Sapphire AA - Premium I |
Sapphire is by far the most popular gemstone next to diamonds, not only here at Crystal Realm, but generally in the western world. Because of this, we devote three rows to this exceptional stone.
Sapphire is a
variety of corundum, which
is the 2nd hardest mineral known to science.
Moh's Hardness Scale: 9 |
Durable and scratch resistant, sapphires can only be scratched by diamonds.
In Christianity, bishops and cardinals saw sapphire as talismans of divine wisdom. In Buddhism, sapphire is associated with devotion and enlightenment. |
Folklore: Joyous thoughts, love, peace of mind, health and healing. Folk name: holy stone. |
